I travel to live.

About Me

I LOVE...
Music.
Computers.
Reality TV shows.
Witty British comedies.
Cute British accents.
Van Gogh's Irises and the expressionist style of painting.
Landscape photos.
CSI... especially Gil Grissom!
Fiction and romance novels.
Food, food, food!
Geeky humor and jokes.
Dilbert comics.
Amazing Race!
Lost!!! (my heart is torn between Sawyer and Locke... yes, I know, Locke is weird... and old. But I love him anyway)
All things related to Scotland.
I WISH...
I am the host of Lonely Planet/Globe Trekkers.
I would have my own art exhibit.
I live in Hong Kong and everyday I'd eat dimsum at Dong Restaurant and buy little chocolates at Aji Ichiban.
The next stop on the travel agenda would be BKK, OZ, Scotland, Istanbul (to visit Duquesa!)
I can spend 2 weeks in Beijing for the 2008 Olympics!
I can spend some time in Cagayan Valley, Bohol and Batanes.
I'm on my way to Scotland right now to listen to bagpipes playing, visit castles and view the expanse of mountains and trees.

My Interests

Music, reading, real-time strategy games, cooking and baking, wine, computers, I.T. trends, gadgets & gizmos, nostalgic sunsets, stargazing, trivia, Dilbert comicstrip, finding good food, sightseeing, travel, painting, soulmates, karma, reincarnation, photography, Scotland, castles, bagpipes, kilts and kilted men :)

And I've found a new interest recently... spelunking!

Nick Baker of BBC... I would gladly accompany him to any island just to observe bugs.

Jai Rodriguez of Queer Eye.

Ricky Gervais (!)
Stephen Colbert!!!
Travelers.
Bookworms.
Computer geeks.
Reality show junkies.
Music aficionados.
Someone who looks like Sawyer, with the kindness of Jack and the resilience of Locke! (Or it could be looks like Locke, with the take charge attitude of Jack and the sarcastic wittiness of Sawyer!)
Smart people, hopefully witty and charming as well.
My very own Noah Calhoun.
